ANNE 14118-T
"Dear Anne Hirst: I am 24, and
:for five years I've been going•
with
a bo
wrath whom ho
m I went
et
to school I care for him terrib-
ly --but he never commits him-
self, though he implies I'm his
only feminine interest! He never
makes a date ahead; he travels
a great deal, and does write
when he is due home.
"This is why he has not met
a man, 1.1 years older than I am,
who has fallen in love with rue.
This man treats me beautifully,
makes me feel important. He is
talented and cultured, and pros-
perous. If I knew I stand no
chance to marry the boy I care
for, I am pretty sure I could
fall it t love again, din for
the, a
g man
is attractive and we are compati-
ble. Though we've gone to-
gether now and then for only
three months, he has asked me
to marry hint. My family know
who his people are; they admire
him, and encourage his visits.
"How can I put the boy I love
to the test? I've got to know -
but I don't want to seem to for-
ward,
LOVE OR HABIT?
* I am not convinced you rare
* "terribly" for the boy you've
* gone with for five years, or the
* very idea of falling in love
* with another man would not
* occur to you. Evidently you
* have not gone with another
* boy all this time, and this one
* has become a habit.
" Your situation today i$ the
* result of rating yourself so
* cheaply, You should have
* handled your beau veru dif-
fey. v
eat
I, . He has come to see
* you when he pleased, instead *
* of according you the Gusto- *
mary formality of making a
date; for all ;you know, he may v
have been seeing other girls, d
too, You allowed hint to ,be so ed
* high-handed because you loved c
* him, and were afraid you'd to
lose him. No wonder he has t
taken advantage of that:
* Next time he rings your ; N
bell• tell him you are sorry but
• you have another engage-
" Ment. Repeat this a few times.
I * and he will reveal where yeti
e stand with him. I think he
* would be a poor risk as ahus-
*
band, for he
would cont'
4
tune
to make h':
t5 own rules and ex-
* pest you to abide by them,
* However, I doubt that my
* opinion will carry weight.
* You may not mean as much
* to him as you hope, and he will
* not ask you to be even en-
* gaged.
* If so, continue seeing the
* older man by all means. He
* seems sincerely in love; he
e knows how to behave toward
* a young woman. Marriage
with him could be successful.

AN APPRECIATION
"Dear Annei
Hist: Over v i t o
w
years I
wrote you about get-
ting married without telling our
families.
"You advised against this se-
crecy, and explained why. We
talked things over, and decided
to wait till things straightened
out for us both. Both our
families needed the contributions
we made from our salaries.
"How happy I am we took
your advice! We are going to be
married next month, and thanks
to you, I shall have the church
wedding I've always dreamed
of. It was hard to wait, but it
was worth it ... I'm ashamed not
to have thanked you before, but
I certainly do now, and so does
my fiance.
MARGE"

+' ter after the ceremony, and, of
course, privately.
Q. -1s it considered proper for
a woman to adrjust her crake -up
at the table after dining in a
public restaurant?
A. -This was formerly frown-
ed upon, t_ut society has now re -
I leicted eu,uugh to condone the re-
pairs most women deem neces-
sary to their lips and shiny noses
after eating.
Q. -Ls it necesary for a young
woman to rise when being in-
troduced to the mother of a girt
i friend?
A. -Must ' eitaui1 ; t;, rrmean
meed would be cxeredincl, ill-
: bred.,
Q. -When mimic's, who have
moved into a new hone, invite
you to an. "open house," are you
obligated to brie a gift?
A. -No; this is merely an 10-
vitation to visit these friends and

cutuse, y,ni are eeperted to give
a gift.

The 'Eye That Sees
'Most Everything
if the electronic eye were used
10 every known way, it would
put thousands of people out of
work in this ecuntry alone. It can
steer ships,. catch burglars, de-
tect smoke, count objects meas*
are speeds, and sort colours. It
has been adapted to imitate see-
ing, hearing, talking, feeling, and I
smelling,
One of the elecetronie eye's
most interesting jobs is that 01
night watchman, For this pur-
pose infra -red light is used,
which is invisible to the human
eye. A beam is thrown across
an open space. If an intruder
breaks this beam an alarm goes

A further refinement is the

Scores of uses for the elee-

duce road accidents. One device
will automatically dim the head-
lights of approaching cars at
night. The headlights ort one cat

and turn on a dipper.
No other mechanical device
can count as fast as the electric
eye. In textile mills, for exam-
ple, electric eyes are being used
to check the threads on a piece
of cloth
as it
passes through hien
h roll-
ers. It can "count" up to 10,000
threads a second.
In steel plants the eye meas-
ures the long, moving strips for
cutting, and orders the big
shears to do their work. When
a machine becomes clogged, the
eye stops the works and prevents
breakages.
In giant stamping machines the
eye protects the operator's hands.
As long as one finger blocks the
little pencil of light the heavy
jaws are suspended, and will
not close until the hand is with-
drawn,
One machine has been report-
ed which will scan a drawing
photo -electrically, translate its
lines to fit the movements or
cutting tools, and eject a finished
article.
We have only begun to see the
wonders of the electronic eye.

Last week over 050 women
baked extra pies, cakes and
cookies for their families to feed
on, and then the 800 loosened
their pincurls, pressed 'their
prettiest dresses, and, by train,
bus or car, headed for the
in Guelph, It was the occasion
of the Fifth Women's Institute
Officers' Conference for Ontario.
Delegates came from points as
far as distant as the borders of
Manitoba, Quebec and. the
United States, and from the
northerly district of Cochrane. It
was a two-day affair so there
were many from distant points
who stayed in residence at the
College from Wednesday night to
Saturday morning. Now for some
of the highlights.
Dr. T. D. MacLachlan, president
of the O.A.C. welcomed the dele-
ates and outlined g tinned the
work and
opportunities of the . students
coming from farms. Two inter-
esting - and interested - visit-
ors throughout the session were
the Reverend Mother Mary Ali-
cia and Sister Marie Adele, so-
cial welfare workers from the
Dominca Republic, B,W.I., tour-
ing Canada for the purpose of
studying rural, social and edu-
cational work in this country.
Mother Mary Alicia told the
Conference that two years ago
a Women's League had been or-
ganized in Dominica patterned
after the W. I. in Canada. The
need for social work in that
country was shown to be very
great, and so, as a practical ges-
ture of goodwill, a collection was
aken up at the Conference,
mounting to $211, which was
iven to and gratefully received
by, the two Dominca Welfare
Workers.
The official delegates from the
various W. I. branches were the
onveners of Home Economics
nd Health and the :onveners of
esolutions, so- the addresses
troughout the Conference were
!anted towards those subjects.
here were many excellent ad-
resses. Dr. Mackinnon Phillips,
Mister of Health, spoke on the
Health of Ontario,' outlining
e progress that had already
sen made for the care of psy-
tiatric cases and the project
ready underway to provide
spinal care and treatment for
entail}, retarded children. An -
her speaker, Mr. McVittle, In-
eetor for Auxiliary Classes for
e Guelph district, outlined a
an to help pupils in rural
tools who need special train -
g, the same as the special
ides already available in ur-

A panel discussion on Health
was most interesting. Those par-
ticipating were Elizabeth Chant'
Robertson, Dr, Gordon Bates,
Director, Health League. of Can-
ada, a and Dr. -
W; E. Blatz, tz psy-
chiatrist. chiatrist. The main purpose of
the discussipn was to promote
better understanding of the im-
portance of good eating habits,
particularly in regard to chil-
dren.
Resolutions, as a topic for dis-
eussion, could be uninteresting.
At the - Guelph Conference it
was far from being that. Byrne
Hope Sander's, well-known to the
public as one-time editor of
"Chateliane" gave an inspiring
a 55 r es s, emphasizing the
strength and effectiveness of
resolutions, if properly used.
These two points were proved
beyond question by the next
speaker - Mrs. W. O. Walton,
president of the Canadian Con-
sumers' association. Said Ml's.
Walton - "Never vote for a
resolution unless you are pre-
pared to back it up . . always
send supporting data with the
resolution . make it sound
and convincing . . , and send the
resolution not only to the Gov-
ernment but to the Opposition
Mrs. Walton reported that the
CCA had been working ori a
resolution which came from the
W.I. to have sizes for children's
clothes standardized, a plan on
whioh the manufacturers are
now working. Progress was also
reported on a request 'for screw -
tops for jam jars and for the dis-
continuance of red and white
wrappers for bacon.
The Hon. Dana Porter assured
the delegates that sending reso-
lutions to the Government was
not waste. of time, that most
'legislation was ,the direct result
of resolutions front various
groups. Referring to the brief on
edible oils; this resolution, said
Mr. Porter, was so reasonable
and constructive that it could, be
accepted practically in its entire-
tyr, It showed members of other
industries that the dairy industry
is basic to agriculture and if .12
fails other industries will suffer.
There you have the highlights
of the Conference. If your
Branch of the W.I. sent delegates
they will bring you a full report.
But I suppose not all branches
were represented. Eveh at that
it was a full house. Every Seat
in the hall and gallery was taken
and a loud speaker system in-
stalled in the basement to take
care of the overflow. It was an
enthusiastic a u di e n c e. the
weather was perfect and so was
the Conference ... and I haven't
heard of any il1 effects to the
families left at home.
.,. Love At First Sight »01t
- - It's All Nonsense r
I know 1 lay myself open to
the risk ot being shot at dawn
or being battered to death by
umbrellas when I_say that court-
ing couples have not the re-
motest idea of what love really
mentis, I say that real love does
not even begin togrow until
after marriage.
Nor do 1 believe that there is
any truth in love at first sight,
It is absolutely impossible, Noth-
ing could be more ridiculous than
the belief that two people, meet-
ing for the first time, can fall
in love, They may not speak the
same language. One might adore
bebop and the ,other Brahms; ane
might n
g fide
have
nin a
b ro
al ern
and the a oth -
e
r on a mountain top;,
one might love children and the
other hate the sight of them.
Love at first sight? Poppycock!
Before you start throwing
things at me, consider the mat-
ter sensibly. What first attracted
you to your present boy friend?
Perhaps he was tall and tanned;
or he had wavy hair and blue
eyes; or he smoked a pipe; or
he danced well. You had a thrill
each time he spoke to you; your
heart began to do queer things,
You smiled brightly and a put
yourself out to charm hint. He
fell for
aur
Y smile
and your
shape, and dated you for the
following week.
You may have thought your-
self in love, but you weren't. Woe
were just attracted physically.
You were afraid, because you
thought hint so good-looking,
that. you would not be able to
hold him against competition. So
every time you met, you were
on your best behaviour. You
dressed as attractively as you
could afford. You went oat of
your way to please him and to
agree with hhn' You let him
think he was marvellous.
At the same time, perhaps, he
was doing exactly the satire
thing. He was afraid some other
man would take you from him,
so he was charming every time
you mei.
In cases like this it often hap-
pens that odd habits suddenly
pop out which you don't like, So
tie may find your bright chat-
ter a litlle boring, so he kisses
you. And you both think the
world is wonderful. and "ain't
love grand?"
Then you have a row and part.
For a day or so you are miser-
able. Then another wavy-haired,.
tanned young man appears oh
the scene and the same thing
happens over again, And once
more you believe you are in
love. Or perhaps that*first row
comes after you are married,
and, you are not able to shake
it off. The next thing'you know
YO ti die in the divorce court. "Re-
member, a all the thousands of
people who go through the div-
orce courts every year once felt
just as you do, and were just as
certain that they. were 111 love.
2 am riotbeing cynical. 1 know
that only a fraction of marriages
Break eel. But 2 want to show
that real love, undying love, only
comes after marriage, when
there is no need to put on an
act to hold your man, when
troubles come and have to be
faced. That is the testing time
of love,
Could it have Happened??
Have you ever seen two mid-
dle-aged
people walking or sit-
ting
p p , t
ting together, not speaking, but
quite happy in mutual silence?
Could that have, happened when
you were courting? No, you
would be frantically thinking 02
what to say next, in ease he
thought you were a bore,
The bonds. of love cannot be
forced inthe hothouse air of
courtship. They, are forged by
years of close association, by
facing adversity together, and
because' of memories shared, and
by the exercise of tolerance and
common sense.
Lave is am ai• e of f the phy-
sical,
P Y
sical, mental, and spiritual be-
tween two people, and that mix-
ture cannot be achieved before
marriage.
Nature generally arranges that
as. the fierce' flame of passion
die down, true affection begins
to take its place,, and eventually
supersedes it, until both Per-
sons become halves of one whole
and know, quite seriously, that
they couldn't live without each
other.

Spring Brings New, Attractive Stockings
BY EDNA MILES
THE fashion influence of this Corenatien Year has made itself
felt, particularly in pretty accessories. In hosiery, it has pro-
duced a spring shade In gossamer sheer stockings called
„pageantry."
Other shades bow to the Coronation, too. These range from a
glowing sun tone that blends with toast, and caramel colors
through clown taupe for gray, violet and the muted blues, Crest
beige is for light browns and greens, jewel blond for medium
blues, variations of green and flame reds and majesty tan plus
a rose -tinted hue for pastel colors and while,
In the interests of a slender ankle, there are many tapered heel
treatments this spring. One treatment is the outline heel with
dark seam. Another is a slender black heel and foot with a shadow
outline. There's also a. heel within a heel.
A new stocking has been developed especially for the life of the
housewife. R's meant to reduce the high cost of hosiery,
With patented built -1n garter block et the for of the seam that
allows gartering -in directly on the seam, this stocking will now
shift even with bending and stretching. Better still, it hes run -
resistant properties that reduce runs and snags to a miniintir'h.
